If Your Concrete Driveway Is Damaged, What Is The Best Option?

Concrete Safe Ice Melt

It’s not uncommon for concrete to show signs of damage. Cracks, spalls, and swelling are just some of the defects that can occur in a driveway. That being said, it’s important to take care of them right away. You might be wondering— how to melt ice on the driveway. We’ve got you covered. When you ignore these defects they can spread quickly and compromise the integrity of your driveway. So what’s the best option for fixing this problem?

Use a temporary product that can hide blemishes but does not solve any underlying issues.

Temporary products are the best option for your damaged concrete driveway if you want to extend its life and hide blemishes in the meantime. These types of products are usually applied as a liquid or powder and can be used to fill cracks, smooth out surfaces and generally improve the look of your driveway. Temporary fixes typically last anywhere from 3-12 months before they need reapplication, depending on how much wear they take during that period.

Tear out, replace and start over.

If you’re looking to get rid of the cracks and potholes, this is your best option. The process is simple: remove all damaged concrete, replace it with new concrete, consider adding a decorative finish and then seal or stain it. This is an excellent choice for people who have time on their hands as well as an eye for detail because of its time-consuming nature.

Melt ice on the driveway using a pet-safe salt/ product

Safe Paw will work on any concrete more than 12 months old. It is a non-toxic, chemical-free ice melt. As long as your new concrete has had a chance to cure for at least a year, you’ll be able to use Safe Paw without worrying about damaging the surface. Testing on a small patch is recommended to ensure that the surface will not react adversely to the product. Unlike salt, it doesn’t cause any ice burn on the skin.
